�Sounds good.�

�Duke-nim. I brought some of the tea you usually enjoy.�
�Thank you.�

Butler Melundo carefully put a teacup down at the table Fredo was at and observed his complexion.

Fredo noticed his gaze and gently smiled to say he was fine.

�What are you looking at?�
�Well� It�s just��

Melundo stopped for a moment before peeking toward Choi Han and then continuing to speak.

�You look very tired, sir.�
�I�m fine.�

Fredo did not say anything else.
The butler understood that Fredo was saying that he would not take any more questions.

He carefully walked away from Fredo and approached Choi Han.

�I heard that you prefer fruit juice to tea, so I prepared some for both of you, sirs.�

Two cups of fruit juice were placed next to Choi Han and Raon.

�Thank you very much.�
�Thanks, butler!�

The butler bowed and left Fredo�s bedroom.

Click, click!

Choi Han started to speak as soon as the door closed.

�There shouldn�t be a reason for you to be tired.�

Fredo turned toward Choi Han.
Choi Han calmly met his gaze and continued to speak.

�I can�t understand the Roan Kingdom�s thoughts nor Cale-nim�s thoughts at all.�

Choi Han had watched Alberu chat with Fredo.
The weight of the conversation felt differently to Choi Han, who, unlike Fredo who thought Alberu was a proxy, knew Alberu�s identity. JrNovels.com
